GeForce FX 5700 Ultra with GDDR3 @ The Tech Report
Published: Monday, March 29, 2004 | Posted By: Dennis
"Higher clock speeds and lower power consumption highlight the main benefits of GDDR3 memory over DDR2, but the FX 5700 Ultra only scratches the surface of GDDR3's capabilities. Samsung currently makes GDDR3 chips rated for operation at speeds up to 800MHz—300MHz faster than its best DDR2 chips. And even at 800MHz, Samsung's GDDR3 chips don't require more than 1.9V."
The chips are also very cool running and shouldn't initially require a heat spreader.
